Her Lapras has been with her ever since she was a child. She caught it when she was very young in the Icefall Cave.

Misty idolizes her, as in the anime.

Her whereabouts in Generation II and Generation IV are unknown, as she is no longer a member of the Elite Four, and no mention of her is made, though dialog present in FireRed and LeafGreen indicates she may have given up her position among the Elite Four to protect her friends and family in the Sevii Islands.

Lorelei in the anime, known as Prima in this canon

Lorelei's name was changed to Prima in the English version of the anime episode The Mandarin Island Miss Match. According to 4Kids, this was to fit the amount of syllables; the English name "Lorelei" is three syllables while the Japanese name "Kanna" is only two.

Ash enthusiastically challenged her, but Prima didn't seem to take notice of him, unimpressed by the young Trainer. Prima did, however, invite them to her lecture and demonstration.

After Ash insisted once again, Prima finally agreed to a battle - that Ash lost horribly. Prima said that Ash had the potential to become great, but needed to find more inner strength, since he had forgotten what really connecting with his Pokémon was.

Prima had a sort of dreamy, spaced-out personality and often reacted slowly to things. Her strategy in life is to go with the flow, like water, but to become as hard as ice in battle.

Lorelei in Pokémon Adventures

Lorelei is a villainess in the Pokémon Adventures manga. She is one of the Elite Four, and along with Bruno, Agatha, and Lance - she tried to take over the world and kill all humans who weren't nice to Pokémon. She keeps a small webcam in a cosmetics case to communicate with Agatha. She has the ability to make voodoo dolls out of ice. She was recruited by Agatha when she was little and she healed her Seel and Agatha found out that they both hated human's cruelty towards Pokémon, and she joined the Elite Four.

She froze Red and Sabrina in ice, causing them severe injuries that continued to harm them for several years. She later found Yellow and Bill in Viridian Forest and attacked them with her Dewgong and Cloyster. She used their combined powers to make an "Ice Spike Cannon" to bury the two of them alive but Yellow used Pikachu to study the move from inside its Poké Ball and then Yellow read its mind and knocked out Cloyster, making the attack useless. Lorelei then gave chase to her and Bill and once they jumped into a river Lorelei froze it over. Lorelei then started asking questions about Yellow's power, and if she could read Pika's past thoughts. Before these questions were answered Yellow had Ratty use Hyper Fang through the iceberg and free them. When Lorelei was about to send out her Pokémon once again, Green deflected her Poké Ball and Yellow and Bill got away. Lorelei then contacted Agatha with her cosmetics case about Yellow's ability and proclaims that if Yellow's power grows she will be able to read the past memories of Pika and learn the details of Red and Bruno's battle. She then delegates Yellow as the new target of the Elite Four.

Green and Sabrina battle her at Cerise Island. Lorelei used her voodoo dolls to chain Green and Sabrina together and eventually freeze them just like she did to Red. Their lack of team work got Green knocked out (Green was being targeted since she was the one who humiliated her with her battle with Yellow). After a while Green woke back up and was able to save the two of them with Blasty before they fell of a cliff. She then had her Clefable use Minimize to steal the dolls from Lorelei, having Blasty break away the two dolls, with Green's arm being cut off accidentally. It was then revealed that the whole time her arm was actually Ditty and that getting her arm "cut off" was part of her plans and had Ditty tie her up. Sabrina suffered wounds due to the ice cuffs Lorelei put on her. Sabrina and Red were forced to deal with painful wounds from Lorelei's ice cuffs (since Green's arm that was in the cuffs was Ditty she did not suffer the same injuries).

Lorelei vanished for several years, and has only recently made another appearance. She saved Red and Blue from Team Rocket's Beast Warrior Trio. She decided to ally herself with Red and Blue, because Team Rocket invaded her home, Four Island of the Sevii Islands.

Pokémon

This listing is of Lorelei's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

Dewgong ♀

Dewgong is one of Lorelei's most used Pokémon. In addition to her using Ice Beam in conjunction with Cloyster's Spike Cannon to create a massive impact, Dewgong has been known to use her Ice attacks for sliding.

Cloyster was first used along with Dewgong to trap Bill and Yellow. Cloyster was seen to be very strong both defensively and offensive, as it was able to use Spike Cannon to easily trap them. However, it was defeated by a wide variety of characters, typically by exploiting its vulnerabilities.

Slowbro is a Pokémon belonging to Lorelei that is not an Ice-type Pokémon. It was first seen while Yellow and the others were flying on a Jigglypuff and Green used her special goggles to see through her Horsea's SmokeScreen.

Slowking is another of Lorelei's non-Ice types. She used it to bail herself out along with Red, Blue, Bill and their Pokémon by using Dig. Although it was first seen in the FireRed & LeafGreen chapter, its existence was alluded as early as the Yellow chapter, when Lorelei mentions that had a Shellder bitten a Slowpoke in the head, it would have made the Slowpoke much more formidable.
